Mid Year Check: What Are Your Most Anticipated Games for the Remainder of 2016?

Something along the lines of

1. Total War: Warhammer
2. Dues Ex
3. Divinity: Original Sin 2, or has this been delayed
4. Squadron 42 - Hopefully
5. Battlefield 1
6. Torment: Tides of Numera
7. Shadow Warrior 2
8. Dishonoured 2 - Again not sure if this is a 2016 title or not.

To be honest though games pop on to and off my radar on a very regular basis, very few games get me excited enough to anticipate their release dates. Off that list, the only game I actually know the release date for is Total War and that's largely due to it coming out this month.

I am looking forward to:

Xbox One

Cuphead

Gears of War 4

Battlefield 1

Call of Duty Infinite Warfare

Recore

Crackdown 3

Halo Wars 2

Sea of Thieves

Below

Cities Skylines

Playstation 4

Gran Turismo Sport

Horizon: Zero Dawn

The Last Guardian

PC

No Man's Sky

Odin Sphere Leifthrasir

Persona 5

Final Fantasy XV

Deus Ex MD

Dragon Quest VII

Dragon Quest VIII

Pokemon Sun/Moon

Battlefield 1

NHL 17

I'll know more after E3.

Absolutely nothing.

It's not to say I won't be playing anything else for the remainder of the year, but there's nothing on the horizon that's giving me enough warm and fuzzies to get the hype meter going. Games like Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Cuphead and Mirror's Edge Catalyst look promising, but they're also titles I have no problem waiting a bit extra for. It's a bit of apathy I suppose, but I also see no more use in foaming out the mouth in anticipation anymore. Nowadays there always seems to be a kind of catch.

Maybe E3 will help sway me a little, but I'm not counting on it.

• Battlefield 1(LOVED Battlefield 4 and the trailer has me hyped)
• Persona 5
• Deus Ex Mankind Divided
• FFXV

Actually a pretty small list though I am sure E3 will add to it

Witcher 3 Blood and Wine

Pokemon Sun/Moon

Zero escape ZTD

• Witcher 3: Blood & Wine
• Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
• Dishonored 2
• Forza Horizon 3 (we assume)
• Telltale's Batman game
• Gears 4
• Mafia 3
• ReCore (but I have a feeling will be delayed)

...from the ones I can remember.

Would've been Zelda ;_;

1. Persona 5 (PS4)
2. Final Fantasy XV (PS4)
3. Pokémon Moon (3DS)
4. Zero Escape ZTD (Vita)
5. Tokyo Mirage Session Fire Emblem (Wii U)
6. NieR (PS4)
7. Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue (PS4)
8. Horizon (PS4)
9. The Last Guardian (PS4)
10. Tales of Berseria (PS4)
11. Valkyria Chronicles Remastered (PS4)
12. No Man's Sky (PS4)
13. Odin Sphere (PS4)
14. Ys VIII (PS4)
15. Star Ocean V (PS4)
16. Tekken 7 (PS4)
17. NiOh (PS4)
18. SMTIV:A (3DS)
19. God Eater 2 (PS4)
20. King of Fighters XIV (PS4)
21. Gears of War 4 (Xbone)
22. Rise of the Tomb Raider Definitive Edition (PS4)
23. Overwatch (PS4)
24. Hatsune Miku: Project Diva X (PS4)
25. Psycho Pass Mandatory Happiness (PS4)
26. Touhou Genso Rondo: Bullet Ballet (PS4)

Greatest line up in gaming history is with Sony's 2016 PS4? I think so. Half the year is over and look at all of the games it have access too for the reminder half of 2016.

It would be awesome if Titanfall 2 comes out this year. Could really make some waves for BF & COD.

No Man's Sky

Battlefield 1

Cuphead would be my second most anticipated game, but no release date yet.

• Witcher 3: Blood and Wive
• Total War: Warhammer
• Nier: Automata
• Nioh
• Horizon: Zero Dawn
• Torment: Tides of Numera
• Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

Not sure are these coming out this year:

• Divinity: original sin 2
• Mount and Blade 2
• Kingdom Come Deliverance
• Squadron 42

May have missed some

In no particular order

1.) Cuphead

2.) Gears of War 4

3.) FFXV

4.) Pokemon Sun and Moon

5.) Dishonored 2

• Zero Time Dilemma
• Persona 5
• Deus Ex Mankind Divided

1. King of the fighters xiv

2. Nioh

3. (lol at anyone thinking Nier Automata is coming out this year)

4.Horizon Zero Dawn

5. Star Ocean V

6. Persona 5

7. PS4 Neo

8. Final Fantasy XV

If I actually believed that was coming out this year It would probably be at the top of my list.

Forza Horizon 3 and maybe Mafia 3

Similar deal here. Plenty of upcoming titles I'd like to play, but nothing I'm really itching for.

All of my big hype games have already released. Beyond that, I'm more than content with the games I'm playing now and I still have a monstrous backlog of quality titles to chop through.

@charizard1605: Like your list. Not into a few but that's a great year (hopefully).

Deus Ex MD

Horizon 0 dawn

Home front

Gears4 (iffy on this one)

But now that uncharted 4 is here my most anticipated is dlc, blood and wine. Hell, it's probably got more gaming time than a lot of full releases coming out.

1. Persona 5
2. Nier Automata
3. The Last Guardian
4. Final Fantasy XV
5. Mirror's Edge Catalyst
6. Zero Time Dilemma

Now that I think about it, this looks like one of the best years ever for games, at least as far as my tastes are concerned.

Might just be pokemon :/

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Tokyo Mirage Sessions, Pokémon Sun, The Last Guardian (if it ever comes out), Horizon: Zero Dawn, Battlefield 1, and Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare (been years since I bought one and I love space).

Nothing in particular, Nier 2 should come out next year and Zelda got bumped. I'm just excited in general for the Neo to come out and finally get these PS4 games.

• The Witcher 3 Blood & Wine
• Deus Ex Mankind Divided
• Divinity Original Sin 2
• Squadron 42
• Dishonored 2
  
  
  

No order, but my most anticipated is actually Fire Emblem: Fates - Conqest since I know what the game is like already from impressions/reviews. It has yet to release here.

But for the rest.

• Cuphead
• Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
• Pokemon Sun/Moon
• ABZU
• Below
• Frozen Synapse 2
• Indivisible (this might be 2017)
• Persona 5
• Endless Space 2
• Pit People

Looking forward to those

Maybe Divinity: Original Sin 2, Im playing the first one atm, I like it, but I'm not sure if I want more Divinity: OS if it has areas that are just as tedious as the Black Cove.

Edit: If there's really a new Fight Night Champion 2, then add that one, too. Best WFighting game!

That delay was awful.

1. Persona 5
2. Final Fantasy XV
3. Odin Sphere Leifthrasir
4. Battlefield 1
5. Horizon Zero Dawn
6. The Last Guardian
7. Nier Automata
8. Total War Warhammer

I already believe a few games on my list will be delayed into 2017, but I will list them anyway

Not necessarily in order of anticipation:

1. The Witcher 3 Blood & Wine expansion

2. Horizon Zero Dawn

3. NieR: Automata

4. Final Fantasy XV

5. The Last Guardian

6. Persona 5

7. Gravity Rush 2

8. Battlefield 1

9. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

10. What Remains of Edith Finch

My copy of Uncharted 4 arrived today so that's off the list now.

I've got DOOM and Overwatch both preordered so I'll be good for a little while. Other than that really only Dishonored 2 has my jimmy rustled. HZD and NMS are unknown quantities at this point.

NHL 17

Battlefield 1

In order

1. FF15
2. TW Warhammer
3. Doom
4. Spacehulk Deathwing
5. Overwatch
6. Persona 5
7. WoW Legion
8. No Mans Sky
9. Geow 4

Aside from Persona 5, I can't really look that far down the road. I hope they surprise us for an international release date in September as I'd like to see Persona 5 go toe-to-toe against FFXV internationally, and right now that's a Japan only thing. Anyhow, excited for that and SMT4: Final/Apocalypse or whatever it's called.

So, in immediate future it's just Doom, and Uncharted 4 once I blaze through Uncharted Collection. I'd actually like to get caught up on my PS4 backlog and games I've yet to get like Heavy Rain & Beyond Two Souls collection on disc via Amazon UK import, and Ratchet and Clank. And other backlog and/or games I missed, like maybe doing the Hitman piecemeal for first two episodes. Word is some third party might get work with Nintendo to release Fatal Frame V on disc in North America, so there's that potentially.

I'm more excited for the what could be that we don't know about, like say if Titanfall 2 gets announced as a surprise 2016 release for this fall... maybe, then again I don't see them releasing that and new Battlefield side-by-side so I guess I might as well give up hope. I also refuse to get more hyped for Nier and Scalebound until Platinum can prove to me they're not about cashing in cheap on lots of small half-effort projects that exploit their name.

Can't think of much else at the moment, except maybe Shadow Warrior 2. I'd like to say LoZ for Wii U except we all know that's not coming this year and people will probably be more excited for it as an NX launch title than the Wii U's swan song.

Doom

shadow warrior 2

mafia 3

system shock remastered

horizon zero dawn

Pokemon Sun

Deus Ex Mankind Divided

Horizon Zero Dawn

Mount & Blade II Bannerlord. Big fan of Mount & Blade: Warband and its expansions, so i'm very excited.

Hmm, mine are

1. No Man's Sky

2. No Man's Sky

3. No Man's Sky

4. No Man's Sky

5. Pokémon Sun / Moon

Dishonored 2

Doom

Mirrors Edge 2

Horizon Zero Dawn

FF7 Remake

Shadow Warrior 2

BF1

Mafia 3

Overwatch

Alright, time for my updated list, I guess:

1. Persona 5
2. Pokemon Sun/Moon
3. Civilization VI
4. Final Fantasy 15
5. No Man's Sky
6. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
7. Zero Escape: Zero Time Dilemma
8. Horizon: Zero Dawn
9. Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse
10. Battlefield 1

The only game that really matters to me is Overwatch. I would be excited about Gears 4, but there is no word on a PC release and even if there was it would be DOA thanks to the Windows store.

Horizon and Pokemon Moon. My anticipation for the most part is under control for anything else.

Already got Overwatched pre-ordered, got my eye on Homefront, hopefully TMNT get cheaper before the year ends, got my eye on The Technomancer and console version of 7 Days to Die, and Cuphead is day one, lastly I'm interested in the NeO versions of games. It's crazy how there's a long list of games beginning of the year but really, you will only get and play not even a quarter of the games listed.

• NieR: Automata
• Horizon: Zero Dawn 2017
• The Last Guardian
• Gears of War 4 PC
• Dishonored 2
• Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
• WoW: Legion
• Battlefield 1

I will probably get these all so they are in a loose order..

1. No Man's Sky

2. Battlefield 1

3. Civilization VI

4. Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIII

5. Ark

6. King of Fighters XIV

7. Mafia III

8. Moto Racer 4

9. Sniper Elite 4

and I'm sure there are plenty others I didn't list.

Squadron 42
Dishonored 2
Total War: Warhammer
Civ 6
Deus Ex: MD
Kingdom Come: Deliverance
Divinity Original Sin 2
